📋 About This Mod

Annoyed by the limited and copy-pasted magazine racks with exactly the same magazines in the same order every time? Well, then this mod is for you!

What does this do?

  • []Expands the number of magazines to about 4x the vanilla game.

    []Randomizes the distribution of magazines so that they are more evenly distributed.

    How does this mod compare to similar frameworks?

    • []Better performance - This is not a script mod, so it is lighter on your CPU. It does not require a script processing thousands of nodes as they are streamed in (there are well over a million nodes in the game).

      []Vanilla behavior - Assets are persistent just like vanilla.

      []Better compatibility with apartment mods - Allows for easy exceptions with no processing overhead for areas such as your player-customized apartments

      A graphics mod is required to experience more than just the randomizer. Here is my compatible mod for this framework: -4x- NSFW Magazines Androids

      If you like this mod, you might want to check out my similar framework for vending machines: 4x Vending Machine Framework

      And for posters: 4x Poster Framework

      Features transforms buffer optimizations.

      If you want to mix graphics mods together, then combine graphics mods with load order priority. For example, if you want to mix a standard replacer mod and 4x mod together:

      [small standard replacer mod] > >

      Framework should always be lowest priority.

      Installation:

      (Normal)

        • []Download the Redmod version of the mod
